I have been listening to music since I can remember: every genre, every artist, every edgy and niche subculture.
I am a great listener: I take pride in discovering unheard gems, trying to connect with their authors.
It never gets old, really… somehow, music keeps hypnotising us, surprising us, always, always offering something new. Must be some sort of magic.

Navigating the rock and pop landscape, Robbarti creates a sound that’s evocative and […]

We have already confirmed Podge Lane’s exceptional songwriting prowess. Writing about the project’s previous release ‘Common Country Misconceptions’, we proudly declared: “a confirmed master, drawing inspiration from personal experience and delving deep into human consciousness”. Now, the Irish talent returns with his latest offering, ‘Multiple Dead Ends’, a striking album that invites listeners to discover […]
Introduced by a hypnotizing and distorted bass riff, ‘Laser’ proceeds to hit listeners like a bag of bricks, a slice of post-rock extravaganza drenched in complex grooves and leftfield electronica. Moving at a fast pace, the track completely hypnotises the listeners, wrapping them in unmatched euphoria and sonic freshness. Simply, we haven’t heard anything like it […]
You all know how much we appreciate leftfield, quirky records. ‘Just’ perfectly fits the bill: built on obscure textures and a crepuscular production, the single captures the listener’s attention instantly, initiating a journey of introspections and immersive eclecticism. Blending new-wave stylings with polite electronic elements, the track provides the perfect sonic background for Scarlett Mill’s […]
As I’ve previously mentioned, cover songs inherently carry some risk. So, when our friend Peter Ehrling, better known as Me & Melancholy, offered up an entirely new album of them, I was both excited and curious to see how he would navigate these challenges. Reimagining nine of his favourite tunes from bands like Depeche Mode, […]
Last year, we at Mesmerized fell deeply in love with a tune called ‘The Edge’. Courtesy of Hertfordshire-based singer/songwriter Ben Murphy, it was a track we labelled as a “majestic and truly emotional anthem.” Now, nearing 40,000 plays on Spotify, it’s clear we weren’t the only ones who connected so deeply with the song. His […]
Janusz Domaszuk and Andrew Pelletier make up the Chicago-based indie act Plastic Tofu, and they’ve just unleashed a smashing new single called ‘Sundowner’. Inspired by the pair’s recent trip to the Pacific Coast Highway in California, it’s a straight-up rocker with one of the most infectious choruses I’ve heard all year. Described by the duo […]
It’s been nearly two years since we last heard from Baltimore-based genre-fluid superstar Dorian, but he’s back with a brand new banger in the form of ‘Reconnected’. A heartfelt and energetic dance tune, ‘Reconnected’ will have you on your feet regardless of the setting, delivering a beat that demands movement and emotion in equal measure. […]
Sofi Bonde has the voice of an angel, so let’s just get that out of the way. The Stockholm-based retro pop singer/songwriter has over twenty years of experience within the music industry and has seen her music featured in TV shows like Entourage, The Vampire Diaries, and Melrose Place. With millions of streams to her […]
Featuring a nostalgic and mesmerising video, ‘Summer Girl (Redux)’ sees The High Plains Drifters do what they do best: crafting witting and positive anthems packed with vibrant and immersive storytelling. Their latest single is the biggest evidence of that: built over country and Americana stylings, the track sees the New York-based project delving into personal […]
We have often supported artistic collaboration. While writing personal material alone can be a cathartic process for self-expression, there’s something about teaming up with other creatives, reaching a common goal and a shared vision that might have been impossible to reach otherwise. Cristina Movileanu understood the assignment correctly, joining forces with fellow musicians Tetsu Atsumi […]
